Are graduates endowed with the required skills?

The number of students who graduate from tertiary education account for 38.6 percent of total unemployment in Bangladesh. More often than not, students after graduation, find themselves joining a jobless queue, and claims by employers that potential employees do not have the right set of skills are worth taking note of. 

Graduates often fail to live up to the expectations of employers mainly because the skills they acquire from universities do not match with industry demands. The growing mismatch begs the question: when and how will we reform the system?
